口腔癌发病率上升的原因，特别是在年轻人中，尚不清楚。据推测，这是由于社区中某些群体暴露于已知危险因素的程度增加，或者是由于新的病原体。在进行大型昂贵的基于人群的研究之前，进行初始的小规模调查以评估这两种假设的证据似乎是合适的。这项对口腔癌年轻人的调查表明，大多数口腔癌患者暴露于吸烟、饮酒和水果蔬菜消费量低等传统风险因素。(C)2000爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
The reasons for an increasing incidence of oral cancer, particularly amongst younger persons is unclear. It has been hypothesised either to be a result of an increase in exposure to known risk factors amongst certain groups in the community, or to be due to new aetiological agents. Prior to conducting large expensive population-based studies, it seems appropriate to conduct initial smaller-scale surveys to assess evidence for each of these two hypotheses. This survey of young persons with oral cancer suggest that most an exposed to traditional risk factors of tobacco smoking, drinking alcohol and a low consumption of fruit and vegetables.
